Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
Comfort, ease of adjusting car to me, efficient use of room, handling and DRY acceleration, view outward in all direction very good w/ no high sill or low roof intrusiveness as way too many other cars now have like Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger/Magnum, among others.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
Memory option for power seat, mirrors, steering wheel would just freaking kill the competition! Throttle tip-in should be more progressive as wheel spin is too easily induced especially w/ slick surfaces and this also leads one to too easily appreciate the great motors torque which then leads to low fuel mileage and indecent speeds around town.

2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
Rented several and put about 4 kmi on them, and enjoyed just about every mile. Feels substantial but reacts very well to input. Some rear axle tramp and bump noise not as well controlled as multilink set-up should be. Steering is a little numb requiring more pointing rather than feeling what is happening between tires and road. Last one had odd body/wind noise frt left A pillar that came and went - this was first w/ moonrf, so?. Would I buy one? -trying very hard to get wife to choose this over similarly price M/B as I really think this is a sweet vehicle for $.

2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
Rides and handles great. Engine is ultra-smooth and quiet. Virtually no road- or wind-noise. Much more refined inside, outside and ride than Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. Many more safety features and standard features. If you drive it, it will be your midsize car of choice.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
The 17" low profile tires make for a rougher ride. We are changing back to the 16" tire and rim in hope of improving the ride.

2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
Thus far we like the car with the exception of the rough ride. We are disapointed with the ride. Our 1998 Toyota has a soomther ride than that of the 2006 Sonota XL.

2006 Hyundai Sonata Review:
I rented a Hyundai Sonata v6 for two weeks and came away very impressed. The Sonata is a good value, very quiet ride, exterior design, very powerful v6 and a very roomy cabin. I've driven Camry's and currently own an Accord but my next car purchase will be a Hyundai Sonata. I'm very impressed!!!!!
